docs: add BOLT 12 invoice release notes
Add release notes for the BOLT 12 invoice codec.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds documentation to the release notes. It describes a new BOLT 12 invoice feature that was added in a previous code change, and explicitly notes that signature verification is not yet implemented. There is no code change in this commit, so it does not introduce, fix, or enable any security issue by itself.
No action required. This is a documentation-only release note update. If reviewing the referenced PR #10941, ensure that callers are indeed verifying Schnorr signatures independently until the planned verification primitives are added.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit is a documentation-only change to docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.22.0.md. It adds a release note entry for the BOLT 12 invoice codec (PR #10941), mentioning that the invoice TLV message was added to the bolt12/ package with structural reader/writer validation, and that Schnorr signature verification is not yet performed. The diff contains no executable code, no bug fix, and no security patch.
